I know the Garage gets the most exposure, so I figured I'd start this here.
What would you want to ADD to 914club to make it better?
Let's not make suggestions on format changes, or things to move around. The club already works fine...
My suggestion...
1. How about a chat feature? It can't be THAT difficult. Pretty please?
chat/ voice chat would be all I would ask for...
Shit! I clicked on the wrong thread..
I meant to click on the Michael Jackson thread again... sorry..
M
and off topic chat room sounds fun....
Can we get a moonwalking muellerbanana??
yeah..a chat is a great idea
Chat?
How about a HOW TO section, without the and
Just to seperate the OT from the useful info.
Here's your moonwalking Mueba
Give him a few seconds.

I remember someone talking about a map showing member location awhile back. I thought that would be cool but I don't know if it's doable. maybe something like a regional list showing who is in what area.

i wish Brad would come back...
oh, a "NEXT" page link, please

I don't think there should be an off-topic or on-topic chats. Just a chat room. For 914club members only.
Somebody steps out of line, then their membership is removed... abusers could be reported to admins.
Or... you can have chatroom priviledges if you have XXX number of posts. This would prevent new people from just creating random IDs and posting spam and crap to the chat room.
Most chat rooms also have an Ingore feature... so if you don't want to listen to somebody's BS, you just put them on your ignore list.
Easy enough.
I'd like to see a link list.. We offer alot of off standard site kinda stuff... rust removers, hoses, non porsche stuff for our cars, vw heaters and such.... no endorsements jsut a resource guide...
how about a banner in the garage that shows the most recent post in the Classifieds? and vice versa.
The backup site has a chat feature.......

what's the difference between a "chat" area, and just hitting the "refresh" button?
Speel chacker...
Can you show more than 50 threads on a page or is that something I can change already?
Can we get rid of that fucking green?
OK, that's it for me...
Paul
Oh, another thing.
All female members must appear nude in thier avatars.
Just a simple full frontal will do.
Thanks.
Paul

I remember the old 914 site with the chat room. I was told that it was Brad's old site. It was awesome. It was never really busy, but then again that was several years ago. Judging by the activity on this site, I would think it would be very busy.
Quick Reply...at the bottom of the page. Like all the other boards have.
So I don't have to see 75 animated smilies all the time...
How about a "Retrieve Deleted Member" button so we can bring people back... like Brad.
How about a "Delete Annoying Member" button so we can ban people... like Miles!

Racin/Ax BB......er ...forum.....so's I don't have to go over to the bird board to talk to racers without all the extraneous BS. The Garage has become "extraneous bullshit central".
360 degree PPI model of a 914. Point and click on a body section and you're given the what to look fors. Include photos of good and nasty longs, heck holes etc.
360 degree common repairs model of a 914. Point and click on a body section and you get common problems and solutions, links to classic threads with details etc.
I guess my wish list leans towards additional technical data with member associated photos and threads.
Same idea could be focused on V8 swaps and race cars etc.
(edited to clarify for Joe)
the 4x4 forum i belong to has forums set up for:
General Chit Chat - an obvious one
Staging Area - to plan upcoming rides
Trip reports - to discuss the outcome of those rides
general 4x4 - to discuss anything 4x4 related
and some others. the only problem with that site is that the moderators are a little fanatical, and will lock your acccount if you post in th wrong forum.
i think if the site sould be set up similarly, then we could find things we are looking for a little easier. The staging area would do away with having so many nailed topics on top. and the trip reports sections could beused for pictures of 914 functions or c ar shows. my .02

Personals! We could look for dates, or maybe place our ex's...

It's always been a plan of mine to really expand the FAQ section.
Every once in a while, I see a thread that's really great and its on something I know I'm going to want or need in the future, but it's not something I need right at the moment. A particular repair or upgrade or something. It would be nice to have a feature like an "Add to Favorites List" or something. A favorites list that would follow my login whether I log in from home, work or the inlaw's house. Ya know? Coding it can't be that hard...
Thanks for all the work you guys have already put into this site!
I'd like a smite button.
M
RSS Feeds. Especially for the classifieds.
And I'd like to be able to turn graphics on/off while viewing a thread instead of going through 'my controls.'

A chat function should cut down on the OT comments and hijacks, but maybe not. A race/AX forum would be cool.

If there was a chat room, I'd never get anything done. Ever! But it would be plenty fun!
Miles, I like the smite button idea!
I was gonna respond earlier but being a newbie I figured whatever I could ask for has already been asked for but - here it goes - how about a links page - just tonight I was guided to HPH - I don't know who HPH is so I had to ask. Also is it possible to make a field on the members page or allow a search by state so I can see wo is nearby me in VA?
Would it be that much of an invasion of privacy to list city and state for each member? That way local events, help or inspections would be easier to come by.
Great! Next thing, we'll be having a number tattooed on our heads!

Ok, this is what I have always wished we had at the 914Club. Something like this...
http://www.early911s.com/gallery_cars.php
I go there all the time, just because I love to look at all the variations, and all the colors. Perhaps we could do it where each member can submit a single photo of their car that they are most proud of (hopefully it is not on blocks). I think it would be great especially for newbies. I know we have the "show us your car" thread, but it takes forever to navigate through the whole thing.
